Except for the 100,000 kilograms of grain transported back by trucks, the rest of the grain was all transported back by train.
A total of 500,000 kilograms of grain were transported to Liuguan County, but only 50,000 kilograms were left. When they arrived at the station, President Zhou sent people to take them away.
There was not a single grain left in the Wangjia Village production team. Fortunately, they all paid for their crops and did not buy on credit.
As soon as they returned to the village, they began to take stock of the accounts.
There will definitely be enough food this time.
A total of 500,000 jin of grain were sold this time. The price of corn was 28 cents per jin, so 200,000 jin was 56,000 yuan.
Sweet potatoes cost eight cents per pound, and 300,000 pounds would cost 24,000 yuan. The sum of the two items is 80,000 yuan.
I made thirty-eight thousand six hundred yuan (38,600) from selling bamboo baskets.
The chicken farm earned 10,671 yuan from selling eggs (10671)
Adding the money from selling sweet potatoes, wheat and corn in two seasons, the state's purchase price for sweet potatoes is two cents per pound, corn is seven cents per pound, and wheat is eight cents per pound.
During the summer harvest, a total of 2.4 million kilograms of sweet potatoes and 60,000 kilograms of wheat were sold, which totaled 52,800 yuan.
In the autumn harvest, we sold two million catties of sweet potatoes and seventy thousand catties of corn, which totaled forty-nine thousand yuan (49,000 yuan).
The total of all items is Two Hundred and Thirty-one Thousand and Seventy-one Dollars (231071).
Such a huge amount of money is simply eye-popping.
Even if it is divided entirely according to population, each person can get 231 yuan.
Although the profits of these factories were distributed according to the principle of "four horses sharing the spoils", they were registered under the name of the production team. Except for the 30% tax paid to the state, the rest belonged to the production team.
So after they deducted the taxes, they were left with one hundred and ninety-two thousand two hundred and eighty-nine dollars (192,289).
Wang Ligui's hands began to tremble as he used the abacus.
Other cadres kept asking him to recalculate, "Don't make a mistake, or you'll be celebrating for nothing."
Wang Ligui was so excited that he counted several times and got the same number, so he laughed and said, "The total is correct! It's exactly this much!"
Everybody was delighted and rubbed their hands together. They couldn't even fill their stomachs before, but who would have thought they would get so much this year.
Wang Shouquan thought more, "Several villages nearby have trouble even getting food. If this news gets out, our production team will definitely be taken advantage of. We are all from the same village, and not lending it will definitely hurt feelings. I think we should hold another meeting to discuss what to do about this matter."
After several cadres thought about it, they found that this was indeed the case.
So everyone notified each household and asked each household to send one person to attend the meeting.
Of course, Qian Shulan was the one who attended Old Wang's house.
When Qian Shulan heard what Wang Shouquan said, her heart sank.
This is indeed a difficult matter. But how can it be hidden when so many people know about it? And the work points must be reported to the higher-ups. If the financial information is not disclosed, there will definitely be criticism from the higher-ups.
So what should we do about this
"I think we should write down the amount of money lower when we report it to the commune. We can just take the actual amount for our share."
Accountant Wang Ligui was the first to jump out and object, "You're doing double accounting, that's absolutely not allowed!" If his superiors knew about it, it would be his dereliction of duty and he would be criticized, so he absolutely could not agree to it.
Someone said, "Why not just keep the money there and not touch it! If we don't distribute it to the members, then everything will be fine, right?"
The others kept shaking their heads. "We're so poor, and we finally have some money to share this year, but you're holding it back. What are you thinking?"
This suggestion was rejected by most people.
Qian Shulan coughed dryly, "I think we should divide the money into two parts. Half will be used to distribute to the members below, and the other half will be used to build a new factory."
Everyone became interested and looked at Qian Shulan.
Qian Shulan said to everyone, "You may not know that now we have to go 50 miles south to get water. How can we water all the sweet potatoes on so much land? Why don't we just raise more chickens?"
Everyone began to look at each other.
Qian Shulan pointed to the accounting book and said, "Look, we only got 101,800 yuan for growing crops on 3,000 mu of land. But if our chicken farm needs to use the land, it would only take 3 mu at most, but we got 10,671 yuan. Which one is more cost-effective?"
"But food is our foundation?" someone whispered.
But then he was sneered at by others, "What a root! You have to steal the food you grow yourself."
Seeing the quarrel, Qian Shulan said hurriedly, "I'm not saying that we should use all three thousand acres of land to raise chickens. I'm saying that we should allocate another ten acres of land to build a chicken farm. What do you think?"
If it's just ten acres of land, it really won't have much impact. But some people are wondering, "Okay, but last time we raised 6,000 chickens, it only cost 800 yuan? It shouldn't cost that much money, right?"
Qian Shulan sighed, "That's because there's no drought. But next year it won't be the same. We have to keep bringing water in for composting. Diesel alone is a big expense. What can we do with 800 yuan? I guess even 8,000 won't be enough."
Everyone thought the same. Diesel is expensive, and it must be very expensive to transport water from a place fifty miles away.
But raising chickens is at least easier than watering sweet potatoes.
So the team kept 92,289 yuan to raise chickens and pigs.
The remaining 100,000 yuan was distributed to members.
Except for the chicken farm which has shareholders in it, Zhuyixuan and the pig farm both belong to the production team, that is, all the members.
Qian Shulan initially invested 200 yuan, accounting for 6.25% of the shares, so she received 466.85 yuan.
In addition, the team received 1,763 yuan based on population and work points, which totaled 2,229 yuan and 85 cents.
Once they brought so much money home, everyone was excited.
This is the first time I have received so much money.
Last year, it was only about 300 yuan. This year, it has increased several times.
Sun Daqin slapped her thigh and laughed, "Oh, if we had known we could earn so much money, why would we have racked our brains to go to the county town? Why not just stay in the countryside and farm?"
Qian Shulan was somewhat speechless. If farming could allow them to surpass 60% of their peers throughout their lives, why would she bother doing so much
The majority of the money she received this time came from selling pigs, but she had already planned that next year would be her last year of raising pigs. The fewer people who knew about this kind of unreasonable thing, the better.
If this item is removed, I'm afraid all the money they get will have to be used to buy expensive grain on the black market. How can there be any surplus
As for finding jobs for them, it helps to train their vision, work ability and character development.
Of course, the sense of right and wrong will also increase a lot. It's not just a matter of money.
This time, the work points of their production team were calculated to be fifty cents, which was more than sixteen times the previous three cents. When they reported to the commune, President Zhou was so happy that he smiled from ear to ear.
I went to the county town to report that afternoon.
After returning, they issued a certificate of merit for Wangjia Village as an advanced production team.
Then a general commune meeting was held to praise the advanced deeds of the Wangjia Village Production Brigade.
More than a dozen members of the production brigade all looked at them with envy.
The 50,000 tons of grain that President Zhou originally received were all distributed to the production brigades that were severely affected by the disaster.
But there were too many monks and too little meat, so each person only got a few pounds of food, and within a few days everyone was hungry again.
Hearing that Wangjia Village was so rich, everyone started to make plans.
Families that have in-laws with Wangjia Village began to visit.
Just two days after the meeting, Lao Wang's family welcomed the first wave of guests.
Sun Daqin's biological parents came to visit in person.
Speaking of which, Sun Daqin hadn't been home for a year, and she was a little dazed when she suddenly saw her parents coming to her house.
Lu Sancui simply held her hand and cried, "Daqin, you have to save your mother. We have run out of food at home. Your two little nephews are crying with hunger."
It would have been fine if she didn't mention her nephews. As soon as she mentioned them, Sun Daqin remembered what happened before. She pulled her hand back with a cold face, looked at her mother expressionlessly, and replied, "In our family, everything is decided by my mother-in-law. I can't make the decision."
Then he left the main room and went back to the east room. Others who didn't want to get involved also found excuses to leave.
Lu Sancui was extremely embarrassed and glared at Sun Daqin's back angrily.
Sun Baocai didn't care about his daughter. If she could really make the decision, she wouldn't have stayed away from home for more than a year. He rubbed his hands and looked at Qian Shulan with embarrassment, "My dear, I'm so sorry. We have no choice. We can't even afford a bowl of porridge in Sunjia Village now. Some people in the village have starved to death."
Qian Shulan was not surprised by their visit, but after hearing his words, she couldn't help but frown, "Hasn't President Zhou already distributed the food rations?"
Before Sun Baocai could say anything, Lu Sancui slapped her thigh and started crying, "My dear, please don't mention this man. He persuaded us to hand in all the grain, but this year there was a drought and the fields were barren. He never delivered the grain he promised to sell back. We didn't take him seriously! Later, we didn't know where he got the sweet potatoes. There are more than 800 people in our village, but he only gave us 4,000 kilograms. Each person only got 5 kilograms. Even if we live frugally, we can only eat for ten days."
Qian Shulan thought so too. There were more than a dozen production teams in the entire Wanghe Commune. If 50,000 kilograms of grain were divided equally, wouldn't they only be able to get 4,000 kilograms
Although these people were pitiful, Qian Shulan never thought of giving them financial support.
Qian Shulan spread her hands and said calmly, "It's not that I don't want to lend it to you, but my family is also eating in the canteen now. If you want to exchange food, I will take you to find the production team leader. Now in our village, we exchange food for 50 cents per pound of sweet potatoes. How much do you want to exchange?"
Sun Baocai thought so too. Now everyone eats in the canteen, and no one can hide food. He touched the money in his pocket, gritted his teeth and said, "Let's exchange 20 kilograms first!"
Qian Shulan agreed immediately, "Okay!"
Then he led the two of them to Qian Minghua's house.
Because their production team had 100,000 kilograms of corn, the sweet potatoes that everyone had secretly hidden before could not be eaten up, so Qian Shulan suggested that everyone sell the extra sweet potatoes for money.
Anyway, selling it in the name of the collective is not considered speculation. Fifty cents per kilogram of sweet potatoes is quite expensive. Of course, this price is much cheaper than the black market. But few of these old farmers in the countryside have ever bought food on the black market, so they don’t know anything about it. And the price of the food Qian Shulan sold to them before was not expensive.
So many families were very tempted and brought the sweet potatoes they had secretly hidden to Qian Minghua to help sell them.
As the cold wind blew, Qian Shulan couldn't help but wrap herself tightly in her cotton-padded jacket. She looked up at the icicles under the eaves, then glanced at the thin clothes the two were wearing, and suggested to them, "I think you should buy more clothes to take back. There are still more than ten days before the Chinese New Year. It's not easy for you to come here in the ice and snow."
Sun Baocai thought about it and felt that it made sense, so he asked for another 30 kilograms, a total of 50 kilograms, and spent 25 yuan. Their production team was not like Wangjia Village, where they could get a share of the money.
Now their production team not only cannot pay out money, but also owes the state grain. They probably won't have money in the future, so they have to be frugal with their savings of less than 100 yuan.
The two of them carried the sweet potatoes and walked out of Wangjia Village one after the other. Because it had just snowed, the road was a bit slippery. The two of them didn't even take a carriage, but walked directly.
Sun Daqin came out of the house, watched them leave, and glanced at her mother-in-law cautiously, very curious, "Mom, don't you blame them?"
Qian Shulan retracted her gaze and looked at her strangely, "Didn't our family and your parents settle things last time? I'm not that petty as to why you keep holding a grudge. Besides, it doesn't matter who I sell the sweet potatoes to." Okay, she admitted that the last point was the key.
Sun Daqin stared blankly at her mother-in-law's back.
That's right! The mother-in-law had never been wronged by her parents, so how could she care about them? She was just worried that they would quarrel again in the room, but she was really worrying for nothing. She sighed and went home.
Soon, Li Chunhua's parents also came to visit.
At first, they wanted to cheat for food, but Qian Shulan was not willing to suffer a loss. She scolded the two of them.
The two of them were so embarrassed that their faces turned red, and they had to pay for 50 kilograms of sweet potatoes.
Two days later, Zhou Xuemei's mother also came with her two sons.
Qian Shulan still took them to Qian Minghua's house to buy sweet potatoes.
Cao Dahua also secretly went to the pig farm to see Zhou Sanli. When she came back, her eyes were red and she was wiping away tears. She held Qian Shulan's hand and kept thanking her.
It is only because of the constant care of his in-laws and his daughter and son-in-law that Old Zhou can eat so well. If it were in another village, he would have starved to death long ago.
Qian Shulan had a good impression of Cao Dahua. She waved her hand and said, "Don't be so polite. Lao Zhou has helped a lot in our pig farm. He earned all this through his own hard work."
Cao Dahua knew that she was comforting herself. She knew that she needed no thanks for the great favor and she would definitely repay her in-laws when she had the chance in the future.
Cao Dahua went to visit her two grandsons again. Because their family background was not good, they were afraid of bringing trouble to their daughter, so they did not dare to come to visit their daughter.
Even though the two grandsons are already a hundred days old, they still haven't been able to come over.
If the canteen had not run out of food this time and every household had started to use their connections to borrow food from others, they would not have come to our door.
Cao Dahua had a private conversation with Zhou Xuemei in the room for a while, and then the three of them left, carrying the sweet potatoes they had bought.
The most dramatic one is Wang Danzhi’s father-in-law Sun Baogui.
Maybe he had always been trying to save face, and only when he was too hungry to walk did he finally lower himself to come to Wangjia Village to buy sweet potatoes.
Whenever Qian Shulan thought of the suffering Wang Danzhi had endured before, she lost interest in accompanying him and simply let the donkey take him to buy it.
She turned around and went back to the house. It would be better for this confused old man to stay away from her.
